    GENERAL

    PREFACE.

    In

    publishing the

    present

    series of

    texts

    the

    editors

    wish

    to

    supply

    professors

    and

    students

    of

    Semitic

    Languages

    with

    selections

    which

    are

    important

    either

    for

    their subject-matter

    or as

    specimens

    of the

    various literatures written

    in

    those

    languages. The

    want

    of

    such

    a

    series must have been felt by

    all

    who

    have been

    called upon

    to teach

    classes

    in

    these

    subjects

    at

    European

    or

    American

    Universities.

    The

    costliness

    of

    books

    published

    in

    these

    languages

    puts

    them

    beyond the

    reach

    of the

    ordinary student;

    and,

    apart

    from

    this,

    it

    is

    often impossible

    to

    secure

    suffi-

    cient

    copies

    for

    a

    whole

    class.

    Various useful

    chresto-

    mathies

    have

    been

    published

    in

    recent

    years;

    but

    the

    selections in

    such

    works

    are

    of

    necessity

    brief,

    and

    can,

    at

    best,

    represent

    only

    a very few

    of

    the products

    of

    such extensive literatures

    as the

    Arabic, Syriac or

    Babylono-

    Assyrian.

    A

    student should

    not only

    learn

    the

    grammar of

    a

    language;

    but,

    from

    the

    very

    beginning,

    he

    should

    conceive a love for its literature

    as well,

    and gain

    an appreciation

    of

    an author's

    style.

    To do this,

    he must read

    more

    than an

    extract of a

    few pages.

    IV .

    It

    is,

    also,

    irksome

    for

    a

    teacher

    to

    be compelled

    to

    read

    the

    same

    selections

    with

    each

    incoming

    class.

    They pall

    upon

    his

    taste,

    and

    he

    is

    apt

    to lose

    that

    freshness

    of

    presentation

    which

    interests

    and

    captivates

    the

    student.

    A

    new

    text acts

    as a

    stimulus

    for

    both

    teacher

    and

    pupil;

    and

    makes it

    possible

    to

    keep

    up

    the live

    interest

    in

    the

    subject which

    is

    otherwise

    apt to drag in

    the

    rut

    of a

    single

    collection

    of texts.

    A

    recognition

    of

    these conditions

    has

    prompted

    the

    undersigned to

    attempt

    the

    publication

    of

    a series

    of

    selected

    texts

    for use in

    the class-room.

    Each text is

    to be complete

    in

    itself

    and

    to represent the

    work

    of one

    author

    or

    one

    department

    of literature. It

    is

    the

    intention

    of the editors

    to

    publish such texts

    at

    frequent

    intervals

    and

    to

    put

    them

    on

    th6

    market

    at a very

    moderate price. The

    realization

    of their

    aim

    depends

    upon

    the cooperation of

    their

    colleagues

    in Europe

    and

    America.

    A

    preliminary

    circular

    was

    forwarded last year

    to

    a number

    of

    distinguished

    scholars,

    and the

    replies

    received

    were

    sufficiently

    encouraging

    to

    warrant

    a

    beginning.

    They

    consider

    themselves

    particularly

    fortunate

    in having

    secured

    for

    the first

    number

    of

    the series

    the

    cooperation

    of Professor

    DE

    GoEJE,

    who

    has

    kindly

    undertaken

    to

    edit

    a

    selection from

    the

    Annals

    of

    at-Tabarl.

    With equal

    readiness,

    the

    well-known

    publishing

    house

    of

    E.

    J.

    Brill

    in Leiden has agreed

    to

    become

    sponsor for

    the series;

    its

    name is a sufficient

    guarantee

    for the

    GENERAL

    PREFACE.

    In publishing the present

    series

    of texts the

    editors wish to

    supply

    professors

    and students of

    The

    want

    of such

    a

    have

    been

    felt by

    all

    who

    The

    costliness of books

    published in these

    languages

    puts

    them

    beyond

    the

    the

    it

    but the

    selections in

    such

    works

    are

    of necessity brief, and

    can,

    at

    best,

    represent only

    a

    very- few

    of

    the

    products

    of

    such extensive literatures

    the

    series

    will appear.

    It

    is

    the

    hope

    of

    the

    undersigned that,

    launched in

    so

    auspicious

    a

    manner,

    the

    series

    may

    prove

    of

    use

    wherever

    Semitic

    Languages

    have found

    a

    home,

    so

    that

    a

    love and

    an

    interest

    in

    this important

    branch

    of

    the

    world's

    literature

    may

    be

    fostered

    and

    promoted.

    In

    asking

    for

    the

    cooperation

    of their colleagues

    the

    undersigned

    hope

    that it

    will

    be

    given

    not only

    in

    the

    use of the

    texts

    when

    published,

    but also

    in

    their

    preparation

    for

    the

    press.

    The

    editors consider

    themselves to be merely the

    medium for

    the

    publi-

    cation of

    these texts.

    The

    second number of the

    series

    will contain

    a

    re-publication

    of

    the

    Annals

    of

    A§ur-

    banapal

    from

    the fifth volume

    of

    the

     Cuneiform

    Inscriptions

    of

    Western

    Asia .

    It

    is

    being

    prepared

    by

    two

    American

    students,

    M*

    R.

    J.

    Lau and

    Stephen

    H.

    Langdon.

    For

    the third

    number,

    the

    services

    of

    Pro-

    fessor

    Israel

    L^vi

    of the

    Ecole

    des

    Hautes

    Etudes

    at

    Paris

    have

    been

    secured,

    who

    is

    preparing

    a complete

    collection of

    the

    fragments

    of

    the

    Hebrew

    text

    of

    Ecclesiasticus

    which

    have

    thus

    far been

    discovered.

    Negotiations

    have

    been opened

    with

    other

    scholars

    for

    further

    numbers,

    of which

    it

    is

    hoped

    to

    bring

    out

    two

    each

    year.

    The

    editors

    purpose

    to do

    their

    share

    by

    undertaking

    certain texts

    themselves.

    It

    is

    not

    the object of

    the

    series

    to

    furnish

    new

    texts

    with an elaborate

     apparatus

    criticus .

    The

    standard

    edition

    of some

    text

    will

    be taken, and a

    apt

    to

    lose

    that

    freshness of presentation which

    interests

    and

    captivates

    the

    student.

    A

    new text acts as a

    stimulus for

    both

    teacher and

    pupil;

    and makes it

    possible

    to

    keep

    up

    the

    the subject

    which

    is otherwise

    the

    rut of a

    single

    collection

    of texts.

    has

    prompted

    the

    undersigned to

    is

    to

    complete

    in itself

    and to represent

    the work

    INTRODUCTrON.

    Abu

    6a'far

    Muhammad ibn

    6arlr

    was born in

    838

    A.D.

    in Amol, the

    chief

    place of

    Tabaristan,

    whence he

    is

    commonly

    named at-Tabarl,

    though he is

    often referred

    to by

    his konyas

    (genealogical

    designations)

    Abu

    (ja*far

    and Ibn

    (jarir.

    Upon the

    completion of his

    elementary

    studies

    in

    his

    native

    town,

    he

    obtained permission

    from

    his

    father, who

    was

    a

    man

    of means,

    to

    visit

    the great

    centres of

    Islamic

    learning, such

    as Ray and Bagdad,

    besides

    other places in

    'Iraq

    and

    Egypt.

    In

    this

    way

    he acquired an

    astounding

    mass

    of learning. He

    settled

    finally in

    Bagdad

    about

    877,

    where he became

    a

    man

    of

    great

    authority,

    but

    declining

    all

    offers

    of

    wealth

    and

    power,

    lived

    a

    life

    of

    austere

    frugality,

    and

    devoted

    his

    entire

    time

    to

    his

    work and

    to

    his

    pupils.

    The latter

    came

    from

    the

    remotest

    quarters

    to

    hear

    him,

    and

    such

    was

    the

    esteem

    in

    which

    he was

    held

    that

    a

    famous

    theologian

    once

    said:  Should you

    undertake the long

    journey

    to

    China,

    only

    to hear

    Tabarl explain

    the

    Qoran,

    it would

    be worth the

    trouble.

    He

    was considered

    to

    be

    the founder

    of

    a

  • 8/9/2019 Selections From the Annals of Tabari

    12/136

    new school of

    fiqh.

    In

    reality,

    however, his

    doctrine

    is

    that

    of

    Shafi'i,

    from

    whom he differs

    only in

    his

    decision

    on

    questions

    of

    detail.

    Owing

    to

    the

    frankness

    with

    which

    he

    was wont to speak his mind,

    he had

    no

    lack

    of

    enemies, especially

    among

    the

    lower

    classes,

    whose

    idol

    Ahmad

    ibn Hanbal he had

    bluntly

    declared

    to be

    no faqih

    (theologico-jurisconsult).

    This

    opposition

    caused

    him

    many

    annoyances

    in his later

    years

    and

    he

    was obliged

    even

    to

    defend

    himself

    against the

    charge

    of

    heterodoxy.

    His

    death took

    place in 922.

    The

    industry

    of

    Tabari

    was

    quite

    marvellous.

    He

    left

    a great number

    of works,

    among them some

    of

    great bulk.

    INTRODUCTION.

    Abu

    (ja'far Muhammad ibn (jarlr

    was

    born in

    838 A.D.

    in

    Amol, the chief place

    of

    Tabaristan, whence

    he

    is

    commonly

    named

    at-Tabarl, though he is

    often referred

    to

    by

    his konyas (genealogical

    Abu (ia^far

    and

    Ibn

    (jarir.

    Upon

    the

    completion of his

    elementary

    studies

    in

    his

    native

    town,

    he

    obtained permission

    his

    Egypt. In

    this

    way

    he acquired

    an

    astounding

    mass of learning.

    He settled

    finally in

    Bagdad

    about

    877,

    where he

    became

    a

    man

    of

    came

    from

    and

    such

    was

    the

    that

    a famous

    Becker's

    note

     Tabari's

    sogenannte Catechesis

    Mahometana

    (ZDMG ib. 96—97).

    A very

    good account of the

    Commentary

    on the Qoran,

    by

    the

    late

    Professor

    0.

    Loth,

    will

    also

    be

    found in the

    ZDMG

    35,

    588—628.

    By

    far

    the

    most important,

    however,

    of Tabari's

    works

    is

    his

    great historical

    compilation, the distin-

    guishing

    features of

    which

    are

    completeness of

    detail,

    accuracy,

    and

    the

    truly stupendous learning

    of its

    author

    that

    is-

    revealed

    throughout,

    and

    that makes

    the

    Annals

    a

    vast store-house of valuable

    information

    for

    the

    historian

    as well as

    for

    the

    student of Islam.

    The

    work

    soon

    acquired

    a

    high

    rank as a standard

    authority,

    and

    formed

    the basis

    to

    a

    large extent

    of

    subsequent

    chronicles

    composed

    by

    Arabic

    historians.

    Besides

    being

    copiously

    extracted

    by

    later

    writers, abridgments of

    it

    were

    frequently

    prepared

    in

    Arabic

    and

    Persian.

    As

    a

    consequence,

    the

    original

    work

    became

    somewhat

    rare

    though

    manuscripts

    of the

    Annals

    in the form

    mostly

    of loose

    volumes

    of different

    copies, are

    scat-

    tered

    all

    over

    the

    world.

    For some

    of its

    parts the

    Leiden

    edition

    is

    based

    on

    two

    or

    more

    copies;

    for

    others

    only

    a single

    manuscript

    was available. It is

    also

    to

    be noted

    that

    some of

    the

    manuscripts contain

    an

    abbreviated

    text

    and

    in

    such

    a

    case

    the

    editor

  • 8/9/2019 Selections From the Annals of Tabari

    16/136

    XII

    could not give more than the

    manuscript

    supplied,

    unless

    the

    larger

    text

    had been copied

    by later

    authors

    and

    inserted

    into their

    books.

    The

    whole

    text

    fills,

    as

    has

    been

    said,

    13

    volumes.

    To these,

    two

    more volumes

    have

    been added,

    one

    containing

    the

    indexes,

    the

    other an introduction,

    including

    a

    biography

    of

    the

    author and an

    account

    of

    his works,

    a

    glossary of

    difficult

    words

    and

    expressions,

    and

    the Addenda

    et

    H.

    Becker's

    note

     Tabari's

    sogenannte

    Catechesis

    Mahometana

    (ZDMG

    ib.

    96—97). A

    very

    good

    account

    of

    the

    Commentary on

    the

    Qoran,

    by

    the

    late

    Professor

    0.

    Loth,

    will

    also be

    found

    in the

    ZDMG

    35,

    588—628.

    By

    far

    the most

    important, however,

    of

    Tabarl's

    works

    is

    his great

    historical

    compilation,

    the distin-

    guishing

    features

    of which are

    completeness of

    detail,

    accuracy, and

    the

    truly stupendous

    learning

    of its

    author

    that

    is

    revealed

    throughout,

    and

    that

    makes

    the

    Annals

    a vast store-house of

    valuable

    information

    for

    the

    historian as

    well as for

    the

    student

    of

    Islam.

    The

    work

    soon

    acquired a

    high

    rank as a

    standard

    authority,

    and formed

    the basis to

    a

    large

    extent of

    subsequent

    chronicles

    composed

    by Arabic

    historians.

    Besides being

    copiously

    extracted

    by later

    writers,

    abridgments of

    it

    were

    frequently

    prepared

    in

    Arabic

    and

    Persian.

    As

    a consequence,

    the original

    work became

    somewhat

    rare

    though

    manuscripts

    of

    the Annals in

    the

    form

    mostly

    of

    loose volumes

    of

    different

    copies, are scat-

    tered

    all over the

    world.

    For some of its

    parts

    the

    Leiden

    edition is based

    on

    two or

    more

    copies;

    for

    others

    only

    a

    single

    manuscript

    was

    available. It

    is

    also

    to

    be

    noted

    that

    some of the

    manuscripts

    contain

    an

    abbreviated

    text and

    in

    such

    a

    case

    the

    editor

  • 8/9/2019 Selections From the Annals of Tabari

    18/136

    XII

    could not

    give more

    than

    the

    manuscript

    supplied,

    unless

    the larger text had been

    copied

    by

    later

    authors

    and

    inserted

    into

    their

    books.

    The

    whole

    text

    fills,

    as

    has

    been said,

    13

    volumes. To

    these,

    two

    more

    volumes

    have been

    added,

    one

    containing

    the

    indexes, the other

    an

    introduction,

    including

    a

    biography

    of

    the

    author

    and

    an account

    of

    his

    works,

    a

    glossary

    of

    difficult

    words

    and

    expressions,

    and

    the

    Addenda

    et

    Emendanda.

    The

    extract

    published

    in

    this

    series

    has been

    taken

    from the

    part edited

    by Professor

    Prym

    (I

    p.

    2726—2757), whose text

    is

    based

    on

    three manuscripts.
